If you joined this forum because you knew a crossword answer @Aylesbeare you have my deep respect 😂 Amazing work, thank you. I'd not heard of that in that form, much appreciated 🍻

It's a pretty good clue, I think.
2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!2 -
Sorry, I should have said “de-lurking to say…..”, I just got too excited when I realised what it was!

I had no clue & have not even heard of the word before.

Well done to @Aylesbeare 🥳 I’d only got the ED bit. Cryptic clues are so clever and obvious once you know the answer, it’s just getting there.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪2 -
Actually Aylesbeare's solving of that clue drew to my attention something that I had thought before but then assumed I was mistaken. The clue & the answer were there before I logged on this morning but the answer was at the top of the page & I hadn't seen the clue until I went back a page. Now we all know my name is appropriate & I might forget reading that someone has topped up pots or spent so much on their shopping. But I would not forget that someone has posted a crossword clue. A little odd that. I will need to be more careful as I read.
